Nayone with a non supported Mac OS that tries to run the latest app will not.
You don't even understand the reason for the post cryptodan you are probably not familiar with a Mac, hence your previous question about downloading.

I don't have to provide a video chrigroop made the following statement
"As to why developers drop support for older versions of macOS, it has to do with Xcode and the way macOS app development works"
demonstrating that someone else is aware of this issue.
But you cryptodan are free to provide a video providing the opposite .

I don't own Macintosh and don't want to because to me they are expensive paper weights.
A statement is a statement but a video is everything.

You lied about the version of macOS. This is what you said:
The mozilla document above is not in any way related to Mozilla because as I said a Catalina Mac running on Intel processor is capable of running windows in Bootcamp which allows the latest version of Firefox. But the old Mac OS Catalina and other deprecated operating systems cannot run the latest for some unknown reason.
Catalina supports the latest version of FireFox. You later tested it on a Mac with High Sierra. If that's the latest version of macOS supported by that Mac, it can't run Windows 10 under BootCamp. Hence, Windows can't run the latest version of FireFox either on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. Your entire premise was flawed.

I did not lie I may of used the wrong O.S. name but this was followed by me making the statement that any non-supported Mac O.S. does not allow Apps to upgrade to the latest version and I used Firefox as an example since there are other apps the Apple hardware can support but the no longer supported O.S. does not allow to run.

Catilina has not been support since 2022. You are saying "it should work"
I have an older version of catalina and I can tell you for a fact it will not work when downloading the latest.
Chiragroup can you try installing the latest version of Firefox to make your statement factual ?

Correction. I have High Sierra not Catalina and that version does not run the latest version. So if Catalina supports it now at some point it is likel it will follow suite.
